'I understood what he wanted': Fahmaan Khan recalls casting couch incident, being touched inappropriately

Fahmaan Khan might be one of the leading TV faces right now but the heartthrob did not reach where he is today without his fair share of struggles. The actor recently opened up about a horrifying casting couch incident wherein he was touched inappropriately by a casting director. He also recalled living in one apartment with 17 people during his struggling days.

According to a news report in Hindustan Times, Fahmaan Khan revealed to a publication about the incident saying, “I’ve done modeling in my life... I’ve been through with designers, people who are like this. I know people who are very open about it (their sexuality) and very cool about it. I also have come across people who are cheesy and they make you uncomfortable.” He went on to add, “I understood what he wanted. So I asked him at the end, ‘Tell me what you want very clearly’. He told me and I said, ‘Ok, thank you. I respect you and respect that you’ve been so blunt but I’m not that kind of person’. I started walking out and that person immediately came from behind and grabbed me. He hugged me in a very uncomfortable way. So I pushed him. He said he called the cops on me. I told him it’ll take 15 minutes for the cops to come here and in the next 15 minutes, I’ll kick the shit out of you if you touch me again.”

Apart from this, the Kya Qasoor Hai Amla Ka actor recalled how he was living in one apartment with 17 people while waiting for his first show. He said, “There was an eight month waiting period for that show to start. That time I was living with 17 people in one house. It was a 2.5BHK in Santa Cruz and it was 17 people. Cheeni bhi cupboard mein lock karni padti thi.”

On the work front, Fahmaan Khan is seen on the show Dharampatni. He will soon be seen in the music video ‘Beirada’ opposite Hiba Nawab. The actor had also made some fun appearances on the comedy show, Entertainment Ki Raat.
